I'm not sure that's the answer as the DLR has been the responsibility of TfL since TfL was founded in July 2000, whereas the London Underground has only fallen under TfL since July 2003.

There was a thread about this from back in the Autumn: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/wm-metro-wolverhampton-st-georges.273299/ I always thought the intention was for half the Trams to go round the new bit to the railway station and the other half to continue to terminate at St George's...

Since free travel was launched in Jan 2012 between the Heathrow stations on the Piccadilly line, customers have always needed to use Oyster (or CPC since CPC was launched). If you are referring to the free travel on Heathrow Express / Connect then this isn't really comparable as these modes had...

Could it be outdated information? The timetable webpage has a link to BAA which sold Gatwick some 14 and a half years ago and BAA itself was rebranded back in 2012.

The message has seemingly now been changed to “emergency engineering works,” despite all day the message having being that the issues are due to a shortage of Trams. The entire Tramway has been suspended since 19.00. The TfL website also advises that when services resume at 06.00 tomorrow this...

Given that passenger emergency alarms are typically located near the doors, the train is quite clearly not busy with everyone seated and nobody near the doors, it seems to me quite sensible that nobody operated the alarm in between stations as this could have resulted in someone falling out.

Sharing tracks with Network Rail is not a barrier, as the Tyne and Wear Metro proves, which has hexagonal signs suffixed with "kmh" alongside the usual round signs displaying the limit in miles per hour. Picture of an example from Wikipedia...

I see timetable shows a peak and Mon - Sat daytime frequency is every 10 Minutes. I'm sure when I lived in Birmingham over a decade ago the Trams used to run more frequently than this (every 6 Minutes at peak times and every 8 Minutes during the day IIRC). Also, why is the line from St George's...

BTP aren't responsible for policing the Tramway in Nottingham, this is done by Nottinghamshire Police.

It seems a bit pointless to go all that way and not link it up with Elizabeth line at either Abbey Wood or Woolwich. Is there any detail about exactly how the new bus links will be “rapid?” I had to travel from Harrow to Heathrow airport during the afternoon peak on Friday. Despite being...

I believe local authorities do have the power to withdraw licenses for events, or at least they would receive advice that to go ahead with an event could possibly not be compliant with their licensing conditions - the Coldplay concert on 19 August last year at Wembley Stadium was cancelled at...

I’ve noticed over the summer there have been a lot of periods Minor delays have been advertised due to a shortage of available Trams.

I suspect these networks will do better than others due to the presence of conductors on board the vehicles. Metrolink will probably suffer also due to many of the stations (primarily the ex-BR stations) being relatively isolated from street traffic (up flights of stairs or within cuttings)...

I’m not sure exactly what that document is; is it PRM-TSI because that does not apply to the DLR; only for main line services. The correct legislation to for the DLR is the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non-Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010, commonly just known as Rvar. The applicable...

How busy is Broad Street these days anyway? I lived in Birmingham between 2005 - 2012 and Broad Street was quite popular with many pubs, bars, and nightclubs. I went back at the last week of Nov last year for the Christmas markets and was shocked at how many places were closed down. Aside from...

Central and Victoria lines, still used and in place. They were installed for the Jubilee line but not activated or signed.

I’ve done all the track on every ‘Public transport’ (ie. not including heritage/leisure systems) Tramways in the UK, with the exception of: - the third side of the triangle in Sheffield that goes direct from the railway station avoiding the city centre, - Sheffield Tram-train connecting chord...

Does anyone know when the line to Library will reopen? The Midland Metro website says October but no more detail. Does that look achievable from the works on the ground?
